The best rom-coms on Amazon Prime right now

The acting talents of George Clooney and Julia Roberts, combined with their consistently fabulous on-screen chemistry, is always a winning combination. Such is the case with Ticket to Paradise. Almost worthy of being called an anti-rom-com, the pair play David and Georgia, a divorced couple who can’t stand one another.

When their daughter, Lily (Kaitlyn Dever), graduates from college, however, and makes a rash decision to get married to a man she meets on vacation in Bali, leaving her career aspirations behind, the two must unite. They travel together to Bali to try and convince their daughter that she’s making a mistake, one that’s all too reminiscent of one they made themselves decades prior. Despite mixed reviews, Ticket to Paradise was a box-office success. It’s full of laughs, along with heartwarming and relatable moments.

Dave Franco co-wrote this rom-com alongside his wife Alison Brie, who stars as Ally, the showrunner of a reality TV show that is almost over its 15 minutes in the spotlight. With a cancellation brewing, Ally comes to the realization that her work has consumed her and she doesn’t have much of a social life outside of it. She decides to visit her mother in Washington where she runs into an ex-boyfriend who, she discovers, is about to get married.

Somebody I Used to Know isn’t your cliched rom-com: the movie is praised for its nuanced story and comedic moments. But it’s also an inspiring movie that takes you on a journey of self-discovery and that there’s so much you can learn about yourself not only from your successful relationships but the failed ones, too.
